Looking for Alaska Resources

Our next meeting is right around the corner on April 23 at 7:30 in the church lounge. April is traditionally our kids/teen month and this year we're reading Looking for Alaska by John Green.

For a little more information on the book and a preview of some of the discussion questions, you can check out the link to the Rhode Island Teen Book Award page or the official Penguin Reading Guide.

Visit John Green's official webpage for information from the author and check out this blog entry for a somewhat hazy explanation of why he has called Looking for Alaska Christian fiction (something we'll be discussing Monday).

Some interviews with John Green:
Teen Reads - short and focuses more on his second book An Abundance of Katherines
Pop Goes the Library - short
Rich F., Borders Employee - all about Looking for Alaska
Seven Impossible Things - The longest of the interviews with lots of links to related websites; the introduction is sort of strange, but if you're struggling with that just skip down to the actual interview.
